Insane 747-400 Landing
- Question
Why isn't there any type of jetwash effecting the people standing directly under the plane, i mean its got to be only ten feet above the people there. any amateur scientists on here wanna explain this to me please?

- Plane is a lot higher than 10 feet.
Over 20 flys in to Princess Julianne airport daily. We love to float in the water when the planes are landing, the waves are big. Only once there was a landing issue where the plane came down to low and hit the 12 foot chain link fence. I remember back 7 years ago when it was only small planes flying into St. Maarten, except for the enormous Air France planes. Around 4pm, when the planes depart the airport, that is when you want to get away from the beach area. Air France turns on those jets for take off and the whole beach area gets sand blasted.

there probably would have been, but only to a very limited amount. on landing the engines are throttled right back and so jetblast is only evident if you're literally right behind the exhausts. i work at a major international airport and have regularly stood behind idling 747's on the taxiways without experiencing even a hint of blast

yes it does efect only if you are at the divisor from the airport and the road beacause they fly actualy quite high to do the efect those for security reasons

- It is landing, that's why.
There is little jetwash when landing. Lift is and power are at their minimums when landing.

- Actually, you are not correct
Lift AND drag are at their MAXIMUM in landing and take off configurations. What you get are extreme wing vorticies (little tornados) They will drift away if there is a wind, or they will, in fact reach the ground; there is a delay, however, as they settle to the ground.

- Jet wash
The turbulance would be felt a little, small vortex. but you would have to follow directly in the wake to experience the jetwash. The plane was very low but the people were still out of it's wake, mostly. The thrust of the engines would be felt more but as this plane was about to touch down the thrust would be low but noticable. The fun really starts when the plane takes off.
By PorkyPig 1182905426 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove1466990 - 1
- Right...
When the aircraft is landing (as seen here), the engine thrust is considerably low; thus, the wake turbulence is mostly ineffective towards the onlookers. As said, take-offs (~102% throttle) are a different story.

The name of the airport is Princess Juliana, which is located in the Netherland Antilles. The Runway starts literally right at the fence, so the landing is a good one for heavy planes. A lot of 747s and A340s land there and have to land RIGHT after the fence because of the distance it takes them to stop.
Also, kudos to the pilots for landing there, seeing as how they have to make visual landings since the airport has no ILS

after viewing this video, i must say "at least i get to know" there is such a kind of airport in the world that you will need a ear-plug when go to St.Martin beach for a swim.....thanks, its a great video !

its the dutch island of st maarten.
very cool bar right next to it on the beach. sunset beach bar.
when planes take off,you hold on to the fance and i mean hold on ( 747)
wear glasses , but it is a hell of a rush!!

Saint Martin Island. Wikipedia has a great writeup about both the island and the airport itself. Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Juliana_International_Airport
By crzy4x4 1186149933 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWake turbulence flows off the ends of the wings. It forms counter-clockwise currents of air that dissipate down and away from the wingtips. If people were out from underneath the plane and further away they would feel it if the plane was lower. That plane is more than ten feet off the ground, so the wake turbulence has disappeared before it gets to them. They don't feel any blast from the jet engines because they're not standing directly behind the jet as it lands.

...an Air France 747 snagged that fence with his main gear and took several hundred feet of it down the runway with him...
As to why you don't see jetwash...the plane is travelling in the opposite direction from the jetwash, negating most of the power (relative to stationary people on the ground) in the exchange...plus the thottles are set low at this point, as was said.
When they take off from that runway, that whole beach gets jetwashed...you sometimes see people surfing OUT away from the beach in it...

Yeah this was pretty insane..it landed not even on the runway start. Its at SXM (St Maarten). Check out how close it was. you can see the people at the fence ducking down. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1078774/M/

I swaer the plane's wheels could have touched the car in the video, if it had been further back on that lane. Go check it out at 21st second.

This happens daily at Maho Beach, at the west end of Princess Juliana Airport. The Sunset Beach Bar just off the runway has a board with the flight schedules for the plane watchers. Truly cool experience. Standing there holding onto the fence during takeoff reminded me of the movie "Pushing Tin"!

an aircraft was taking off there. The blast was directed to the beach and the people flew to the sea!!!

It's the Princess Juliana airport in the island of St.Maarten ( or St. Martin) in the Caribbean. Half of the island is under Dutch jurisdiction, the other half is French. Nice place! The whole island is a Duty-free zone, great shopping, great beaches! lol...I miss it so much :(

it looks unsafe to me, i might be a good place for a bar and for a fence company but i think i will pass on the ride in a jet there. I would think that they could find a little more runway somwhere on the other end to make it a little safer than that.
By docscot 1228273981 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
Technically speaking when you are about to land a plane you might put it in idle or low thrust. When you are about to take-off you would put the throttle completely in so that the plane will take off

This is actually my Mother-In-Law on her final approach to the Breakfast Bar at Bob Evans' Restaurant just outside of Bristol, VA, USA. I always get nervous when people stand that close, as she doesn't always land that well. There have been injuries.

I am a pilot and when you are coming in for a landing you are almost gliding. The power is cut back so far that the engines are still on but there is no backwash from the jets. This is really true though I have been to this exact place it is in Australia and the requirements to be standing or driving there is that you can't be over 10 feet high.
